Gaylords in Pennsauken and the Route 130 corridor

Route 130 through Pennsauken is a strip of warehouses, truck terminals and light industry that serves Philadelphia from the New Jersey side. The Betsy Ross Bridge lands here on Route 90, and trucks line the access roads waiting for dock doors.

Food distribution and chemical distribution dominate. Both repack goods from bulk into smaller lots, so both generate empties. A food distributor's boxes are clean and often lined; a chemical distributor's are harder to place, and we need to know what they held.

• Buy. Distributors who want used boxes for repacking and outbound.
• Sell. Weekly empties from a building on the corridor, or a one-time clean-out.
• Recycle. Damaged stacks from docks and trailers, crushed by forklifts, rained on in open yards or left too long beside a loading door.

If the flow is steady, say so. A routine pickup is easier than a surprise.

• Trucking terminal. A yard where trucks load, unload and park, usually with dock doors on one side.
• Repack. To open bulk goods and divide them into smaller lots for customers.
• Drop and hook. A method in which a driver leaves one trailer and picks up another without waiting.
